TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed transcript levels of rice genes associated with glycolysis and alcohol fermentation under submergence stress and found that the mRNA accumulation of type I genes increases in response to anaerobic stress.Abstract:
Expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in specialized metabolic pathways is assumed to be regulated coordinately to maintain homeostasis in plant cells. We analyzed transcript levels of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genes associated with glycolysis and alcohol fermentation under submergence stress. When each transcript was quantified at several times, two types (I and II) of mRNA accumulation were observed in response to submergence stress. Transcripts of type I genes reached a maximum after 24 h of submergence and were reduced by transfer to aerobic conditions or by partial exposure of shoot tips to air. In a submergence-tolerant rice cultivar, transcript amounts of several type I genes, such as glucose phosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, and enolase, increased significantly compared to an intolerant cultivar after 24 h of submergence. This suggests that the mRNA accumulation of type I genes increases in response to anaerobic stress. mRNA accumulation of type II genes, such as aldolase and pyruvate kinase, reached a maximum after 10 h of submergence. Following transfer to aerobic conditions, their transcript levels were not so rapidly decreased as were type I genes. These results suggest that the mRNA levels of genes engaged in glycolysis and alcohol fermentation may be regulated differentially under submergence stress.read more

OXYGEN DEFICIENCY AND ROOT METABOLISM: Injury and Acclimation Under Hypoxia and Anoxia
TL;DR: This review examines how roots are injured by O2 deficiency and how metabolism changes during acclimation to low concentrations of O2, and indicates that selective sacrifice of cells may resemble programmed cell death and is distinct from cell death caused by anoxia.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the magnitude and the duration of the signaling can provide tolerance of oxygen deficiency through management of carbohydrate consumption and avoidance of oxidative stress.

Molecular analysis of the alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (Adh2) gene of maize
TL;DR: The Adh2 gene of maize has a nucleotide sequence closely related to that of the maize Adh1 gene indicating that the two genes arose from a progenitor gene by a duplication event, and may have a regulatory function in gene expression.
